This collection is composed of a photograph album containing photographs of various regions of India. The cover lists the
following dates and cities: 1895-1896, Bombay, Ahmedabad, Jeypore, Amber, Delhi, Agra, Fatipur, Benares, Calcutta, Darjeeling
and Madras. A few of the photos capture individuals participating in events such as the tiger hunt or the elephant ride but
the majority of the photographs are of landscapes. Most of the photos are large (around 7x10 inches) and are of high artistic
quality. Some of the photographs are labelled but most are not. The bookplate on the first page indicates the album was at
least owned, and probably compiled, by Ernest Rudolph Gunther.
